Driven

As a fan of the book series, the movie had me on edge. All of my concerns diaappeared the moment I saw what an amazing job the casting team did in selecting the actors. Casey Deidrick is the perfectly imperfect Colton & Olivia Applegate embodies the soul of Rylee. Their chemistry on screen is HOT and definitely NSFW. Tosca Musk and the creative team at Passionflix made sure all of the important details were there as K. Bromberg's superfans would be most critical - we're extremely protective of our favorite book boyfriend. The response in the Facebook fan groups has been immensely positive and fans have become smitten with both Casey & Olivia. Their dedication to make these characters jump out of the book and onto the screen as Kristy imagined them and put them to paper has blown away all of our expectations. At this time I have only seen the first 3/6 episodes but having read the book I am eager to see how the rest of this plays out. There's a certain *sweet* scene coming up that is sure to burn up the screen.

Note: Originally scheduled to be edited to a movie. While editing it was decided to be released as 6 episodes with 3 releasing on August 10th, 2018, and the remaining 3 will be released on August 24th, 2018. The next 2 books in the Driven have been optioned so look for updates on Fueled and Crashed from PassionFlix. These movies are based on the Driven book series by K. Bromberg.

This mini series episodes based on the novel by K Bromberg where very well adapted, definitely it marked everything I usually do to evaluate an adaptation from a book, the casting was fantastic, the screenplay was well written and the performance was what I wanted to see on the screen, Olivia Applegate brought Rylee to life and was simply what I envisioned for that character. Casey got Colton's character as well and their chemistry showed on screen as it did in the book, waiting for the following parts as I truly love the books.

Colton Donovan is smoking hot and what makes this series. He meets Rylee backstage at a charity event for a program involving group foster homes. He kisses her and thus starts this endless pursuit of Colton's to have sex with Rylee.

Both Rylee and Colton have damage or baggage from their past that is preventing them from having happy loving relationships. They have filmed book one in its entirety and it will be interesting to see how the rest of the series pans out...can they heal each other?

Amazing chemistry between these two and worth watching just for that!

Just wanted to add that this series inspired me to read the books, which I am so glad I did. It is an amazing series. Thank you, Passionflix, Tosca Musk, Casey Deidrick, and K. Bromberg!

I can't wait to see how season two holds up with an actor change for Colton.

I really appreciate the seriousness and sensitivity given to portraying steamy sex scenes on film. I also recognize that part of that can only be done when actors, particularly actresses are willing to allow their bodies to be shown for their art/craft. Along those lines, thank you Olivia Grace Applegate for allowing such spectacular sex scenes to be filmed!

The first season was so awesome!! Sexy and exciting. Hated that we had to change characters for the second season. Can't wait to see more. Passionflix is rocking these books to movies.

The original central character,Colton Donovan ( Casey Deidrick) is Very, very believable, flawed, pure sex- the character straight out of the Bromberg novel. His connection to Olivia Applegate/ Rylee, is perfect. They are lovers, adversaries, and the tension between these two pours off the screen.

If you want a tight story, the best of actors, the purest of emotions and sexual chemistry, you will love the first in the series, DRIVEN.

-------- Unfortunately, for whatever reason, the part of Colton from Season 2 on, is played by Michael Roarke. Sorry, but he simply does not have the acting chops that Deidrick has.

The "chemistry" with Olivia, the believability of emotions and pure sexual tension, does not exist. The audience now goes From gut wrenching realism to Flat and emotionless lines delivered, He simply is not Good enough to play Colton as created by Bromberg.

Sad: From a grade A movie to a lot, lot less for the rest of the Series. No interest in watching.
